About us
Wonderhood Studios is a unique independent creative company founded by people with the skills to deliver impact across advertising, premium TV, social and design.
We provoke wonder through a neighbourhood of curious minds, developing original ideas that impact culture for brands, platforms and broadcasters. And because of our unique studio structure, working with and at Wonderhood Studios feels different. We are a vibrant community with a rich tapestry of expertise and diversity, coming together to create a dynamic environment. Our breakthrough thinking occurs at the boundaries of knowledge, disciplines and perspectives.
And keeping it is even harder.
Audiences are fragmented.
Media is fragmented.
We need new thinking.
This doesn’t happen by staying in your lane.
It takes a combination of skills.
Shared knowledge.
And a challenging POV.

We partner with world-class talent.
To deliver breakthrough ideas.
To generate national conversations.
To provoke wonder.
And move audiences across the world.
Let us pay some real attention to you.
